I'm looking for some information regarding short field performance. I live in western Washington on a 40 ac farm and my wife has FINALLY given the OK to get my license. I have always loved the KF and I believe that it would work well here on the farm. My intent in to purchase a 5 or better, but what size engine should I need for it to perform well?

I have trees at both ends that are roughly 50 feet. and a gradual slope the long way across the field with 1200 feet between the treeline.

I'm 6'3" 225# and my wife is 5'2" and maybe 125#

We live near an airfield and could top-off there- so I could fly lighter in and out. I would work out of the local airfield and some off-airport site to earn my experience before coming to the farm.

Do-able? I think so- but I don't have any meaningful idea. SO I come to y'all- Thanks for sharing
